One of the things I had a fit of laughter was after reading that Jensen used to work at AMD before!!

I heard from a first-hand account that in the late nineties Jensen tried to sell nVidia's IP to ATI. They refused, even though the offer was good. The rest, as they say, is history.

That was AMD. They wanted to merge with Nvidia for their graphics IP, but didn't want to accept the condition, so they bought ATI eventually.
